SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (AP) — Police are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found in her Schenectady apartment after neighbors reported hearing her infant and toddler crying.

The Daily Gazette of Schenectady reports that police were called to the apartment building Thursday evening after neighbors said they heard her infant and toddler crying on Wednesday night and again earlier Thursday.

Firefighters carried two children from the apartment and placed them in an ambulance.

Police haven't released any details of the mother's death. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday.
